Digium G100/G200

Built on a powerful combination of the Asterisk Open Source communications engine and a state-of- the-art embedded platform, Digium VoIP Gateways provide the best value for Asterisk connectivity.

The gateway software is based on the Asterisk communications engine and is managed through Digium’s intuitive point-and-click GUI interface, which allows for easy navigation and effortless setup. VoIP gateways feature a power-saving embedded design with a highly efficient digital signal processor (DSP) handling all media-related operations.

The Digium G100 VoIP Gateway includes a single software-selectable T1/E1/PRI interface and supports up to 30 concurrent calls. It is built to support TDM-to-SIP, SIP-to-TDM and SIP-to-SIP (transcoding) applications. In a TDM-to-SIP deployment the VoIP gateway significantly reduces operating costs by connecting a legacy business phone system with dynamic SIP trunking services. SIP-to-TDM deployments use the VoIP gateway to connect a modern SIP communications system with T1/E1/PRI service from legacy carriers.

Applications

Digium VoIP Gateways are flexible solutions that fit a variety of communications applications. The applications listed below represent some of the most widely used, today. The flexible configurtation options and standards-based connectivity mean Digium’s gateway appliances can support a wide range of custom applications.

Gigaset Dect test mode

Setting test mode on the Gigaset handsets can be very useful. Detailed here is how to set a handset into test mode and what the numbers then mean. Once set go off on a walk round your site to find dead spots. Then change the base position to get the best coverage

 

 

 

The above screen Shows RX power at 100% , Frequency is 3 , TimeSlot is 02, Basestation code is 78 and finally Bit error rate is 100% (This means 100% Good not 100% error rate)

A short document on Setting test mode on Gigaset dect handsets for site surveys is available for download here. This shows you how to enable it and what each of the numbers mean.

Digium G100/200 Gateways and UK CallerID Number

The current firmware in the Digium G series gateways have a quirk that if they don’t receive caller ID name they move the caller Id number to be the Caller Id name but don’t leave the Caller Id number in place. The relies on you setting  “trustrpid=yes” in teh sip trunk configuration.

We have produced a short document on settings for using the gateway with any freePBX based asterisk solution. It can be downloaded here

Elastix solution for a Bristol IT company

We were recently approached by a Bristol IT company to replace their ageing Avaya system. The proposed solution was an Elastix 2.3 solution running on Vmware 5.1, with their ISDN30e line connected via a Digium G100 gateway.

A key requirement was the ability to recharge usage to tenants in the building and replace an aging and expensive Oak call logger, This was simple with the Elastix solution as this option is included free of charge in the system and just required the uploading of a rates table.

The customer decided on Yealink T28 handsets for the office, utilising the BLF to have visibility of who is engaged on calls.

Outdoor pursuits company.

We were approached to supply  a hosted PBX solution to a Southwest England based Outdoor pursuits company replacing their on site AsteriskNow system with a more manageable and streamlined hosted Elastix based solution.

This gave them the ability to have handsets located where ever they were needed and add handsets easily with the user friendly Elastix interface. It also gave them increased viability of call usage with the inbuilt reporting and FOP2 let them see users engaged on calls.

We ported their existing BT Analogue lines to Gradwell VoIP trunks, This gave them an immediate increase in call capacity and combined with inclusive landline and mobile call packages meant call costs were kept under control.

Xorcom Solution for Kensington Office

An existing client was moving offices from Carnaby St London to Kensington, Since the original system was installed the usage had changed with the majority of staff now being based in South Africa where we also have remotely installed an Asterisk solution previously.

For the new kensington office it was decided to use a Xorcom IPBX as this single box solution would make management easier and as ISDN2 Lines were required the overall cost would be lower than using a dedicated server and ISDN2 gateway.

xr2000-analog-250

The system was preconfigured and tested in our Lab and then taken to site and installed in one day. The clean interface allows for easy addition of handsets using the endpoint manager.

Since the company make a large volume of international calls it was decided to use Gradwell for outgoing calls as this means a great saving over BT for call charges. They also had a EFM circuit installed for both Voice and office internet usage.
